Benchtop bioreactors
Smart Bioreactors for Lab-Scale Bioprocess Development.
Modular, scalable and intelligent benchtop bioreactors, designed for mammalian cell culture, bacterial fermentation and bioprocess development — from 350 mL to 40 L total volume. Five lines: Biobook Compact, Biobook Twin, Biobook Compact Twin, Biobook I/O and Biobook Taylor Made.
Biobook Compact
Simplify research and cut validation time with a system that connects the lab to process development. Minimal footprint, maximum capacity.
Biobook Twin
Two vessels in parallel. Simultaneous operation. A single modular logic. Ideal for comparative studies and parallel process development.
Biobook Compact Twin
Two mini bioreactors controlled independently from a single ultra-compact controller, with pumps, gas, probes and temperature control in one rack.
Biobook I/O
Build your bioreactor, just the way you want it. Modules that run standalone or as part of an integrated bioreactor platform.
Biobook Taylor Made
Bespoke configuration for specific needs: custom vessel geometries, sensors and automation. Engineered around your process, from concept to acceptance test.

Frequently asked questions
The Biobook series covers 350 mL to 40 L total volume. The Biobook Compact is optimised for single-vessel R&D; the Biobook Twin runs two parallel vessels of 350 mL to 40 L each; the Biobook Taylor Made offers bespoke configurations (vessels, sensors and automation) for specific application requirements.
The Biobook series supports mammalian cell culture (CHO, HEK293, BHK21), bacterial fermentation (E. coli, Bacillus subtilis), yeast fermentation (S. cerevisiae, P. pastoris) and fungal cultures. Glass, stainless steel or single-use vessels available depending on requirements.
Yes. The Biobook integrates with the Bioflex™ SCADA software, fully compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 — electronic audit trails, e-signatures and secure data archiving. Full IQ/OQ documentation packages available on request.
Yes. All Biobook systems support batch, fed-batch and continuous (perfusion/chemostat) modes. The Bioflex™ Recipe Editor provides step-by-step automated process sequences with timed setpoint changes.
